Non-Linear Lesson Planner

spacer To a handful of people, I've mentioned that V Planner V2 will have a non-linear system for sending lesson plans to planners. The system is based on five numbers - simply 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Place those numbers next to your lesson plans and they will show up on the planner. The numbers can be in order or out of order. Not all of the numbers have to be used, actually none of them do if no lessons from a certain subject are needed. If you leave off some numbers that will result in skipped days.

Using all Five Numbers


The screen shot below shows all five numbers used. They are in order. The lesson that is next to number 1 will appear first in the planner. Number 2 will appear second, and so forth.

The school calendar is using the system too. When generating a planner, go to "Days" and mark the dates that you need to show on the planner.




This is a screen shot of one of the new dynamic planners (DP). This is the "Row" planner - plans are in a list. Notice that the plans that are numbered above appear in the planner.

Skipping Days


Back at the "S" Sheet I skipped 2 and 4.

Back to the planner - notice that position 2 and position 4 are empty. Even though they are skipped, the lessons are ordered as I want them.

That's a brief look at the non-linear system.

    Hi Donna,
    I found a specific printable on your site, but I neglected to either save it or store it in Favourites. Now I want to use it again I can’t find it. I am hoping you will be able to help me locate it.
    It was a full sheet, divided into boxes (can’t remember how many). Each box had lines for writing on and a checkbox to tick when the activity was completed. There was no other writing on the page as far as I can recall. I think the boxes were rounded, but I can’t be sure about this.
    Hoping that you’re able to help, and thank you so much for your time :)

    Hello Anne,

    That sounds like the Edwardian planner. Below is the link to most of those.

    I just started setting up the V Planner and have a question I am unable to find the answer to. There seem to be 9 ‘subjects’ for each child. Between all of our regular classes, all of the parts of language arts and all of our electives like composer study, drawing, nature journal,etc., we have too many subjects. How can we make this work?
